One of the world's best gyms is ready to take the city by storm. A PT report.

Fitness - if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body- Cher

Well, unfortunately, fitness does not come in a bottle. But, it does come in the form of fitness centres, a business that's certainly booming in the city. And now, the fitness industry in Pune is abuzz with the arrival of one of the world's best gym chains — Gold's.

Considered by some as the mecca of body-building, Gold's started out in 1965 at Venice Beach, California. The Hollywood blockbuster Pumping Iron in 1967, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, made Gold's a household name and catapulted Arnold to stardom.

Since then, Arnold went on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, while Gold's went on to become a big name in fitness across the globe.

Gold's has made its presence felt in 33 countries, with more than 680 branches across the world, and has built a membership of over two million.

With members running 5,56,800 miles a day, that is 23 times around the earth; or cycling 236,670 miles a day, that is 750 times across the United States; and, a members' list that comprises of Muhammad Ali, Pierce Brosnan, Nicholas Cage, Mel Gibson, Britney Spears, Brooke Shields, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal among others, Gold's surely does train some of the best bodies in the world.

Gold's Gym, Pune, is spread over 27,000 sq feet making it one of the largest gyms in India. Situated in Kalyani Nagar, overlooking a bird sanctuary and a river bed, the view is breathtaking and simply takes you away from the daily, urban, chaotic life, to another world altogether.

With patented equipment from leading companies and top-of-the-line trainers, each trained under the watchful eyes of the Gold's Gym University (GGU), the gym ensures that all your fitness requirements are well looked after.

With specialised programmes for each body type, Gold's ensures that you reach your goal by training smart, not hard.

With glamourous rain showers, steam and granite jacuzzi, six spa rooms, a health cafe, unisex salon, swimming pool with a baby pool and separate section for aqua aerobics, a spin cycling studio and a group X studio for over 40 classes like yoga, aerobics, power yoga, kick-boxing, step aerobics, Bollywood dancing and more, Gold's Gym is surely here to take Pune by storm.
